I tend to read the constitutions and legal documents of countries I live in. I have read the constitution many times. It's not in there.

Article 4. It's actually near the top. You probably missed it because you have to know the history of the constitution to know what Article 4 means. This is the text:
"The territory of the Republic of China within its existing national boundaries shall not be altered except by a resolution of the National Assembly."
The key phrase is "existing boundaries." The constitution was passed in 1947, when the "existing boundaries" of the ROC were very clear: all of China, plus Mongolia.
The constitution says that those boundaries may only be changed by an act of the legislature. There has never been such an act.
